Crime Scene Cleaners Inc.
The police, the fire department and the crime-scene investigators who
arrive at a crime scene perform crucial tasks in the aftermath of a
violent death. But they don't, as a general rule, clean up. Mopping up
after someone who dies violently is the responsibility of that person's
family. Now there is a company, called Crime Scene Cleaner Inc., that
can handle the dirty job, literally. It's a cleaning maintenance service
specializing in the cleanup of homicide, suicide and accidental deaths.
The company offers services of cleaning, disinfecting and removal of
all contaminated items to restore the scene to a safe, non-biohazardous
state. But it's not what you are thinking, if you committed a crime you
should call the police first, Cleaners Inc. won't come and clean up your
mess.

Xtreme Taxidermy: freezes dry your pet to have a lasting memorial
When cremation or burial does not feel like the right decision for you
and your pet, freeze dry preservation may be the right choice. Pets
are a very special part of our family. Freeze dry preservation affords
pet owners the opportunity to make a lasting memorial. This process
keeps your pet intact. Your pet will retain its original size and shape
in which it is posed indefinitely. We recommend a sleeping or a lying
down position. Your pet will look very natural and even close up it
will be difficult to tell any difference at all except for the lack of
movement. With a little care, your pet can be held, carried, or even
gently petted.

Pink Taxi: for women only
The new fleet of 35 cabs in Mexico's colonial city of Puebla is driven
exclusively by women and don't stop for men. The cabs cater especially
to those tired of leering male drivers. “Some of the women who have been
on board tell us how male taxi drivers cross the line and try to flirt
with them and make inappropriate propositions,” said taxi driver Aida
Santos, who drives one of the compact, four-door taxis with a tracking
device and an alarm button that notifies emergency services. In the Pink
Taxi they feel more relaxed and they won't have that feeling of
insecurity. The new taxis open up to Mexican women what has been an
overwhelmingly male profession.
